Taylor Swift has given us one of the year’s buzziest songs with “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone and she’s reaping the fruits of her labor. This smash hit helped her win seven trophies at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, including her fifth award for the video of the year.
Swift broke her own record when she won another video of the year award at the MTV VMAs for “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone. They had to beat tough competition in Ariana Grande’s “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)”, Billie Eilish’s “Lunch”, Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red”, Eminem’s “Houdini”, and SZA’s “Snooze” to take this award home.
“Fortnight” was also named song of the summer, in addition to winning awards for best collaboration, editing, and direction. Swift brought the number of her wins to seven by winning two more awards on her own – artist of the year and best pop.
Despite collecting trophy after trophy all night long, “Fortnight” wasn’t named the song of the year. This award went to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso”, who also managed to beat Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em”, Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me”, Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”, and Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control”.
The 2024 MTV VMAs took place at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on September 11, with Megan Thee Stallion hosting the show for the first time.
